Adult Readers: Short Stories/Low Reading Level

http://www.swadulted.com/Stories/stories.htm Very Short Stories for Adult Readers

The blub on this reader is: "The book you are about to open contains a growing number of stories written for improving adult readers, by experienced authors . You are invited to read the stories and share them, providing you follow our guidelines.
Our stories are presented to you in two formats: continuous text and text interrupted by comprehension and discussion questions. Some teachers/readers prefer to assess comprehension as the story progresses; others prefer to read the story first and follow the reading with questions. Each story has a link to related questions."
The comprehension and discussion questions are good, and considering these are indeed very short stories, they are a great beginning for new readers.

Stories include:
Saturday Shock!
Long Day at the Cafe
Blind Date
Dr. Ocho
Real Men Go Camping
